Summary
Even before he was president, Donald Trump was known for stiffing his lawyers. But considering how the stakes changed once he took the Oval Office, not getting paid seemed like a pleasant option.

She offers insight into why lawyers still want to represent Trump, and what the ethical implications are - personally and professionally.
